village. occupied by French traders, and the
wigwams and lodges covered the plain for miles
on the south bank of the river. There were a
number OF Indians slain in the battle In his
report Wilkinson says: II have destroyed the
chief town of the Ouiatenon (Wea) nation. and
have made prisoners of the sons and sister of
the king. and have destroyed at least 430 acres
of corn, chiefly in the milk" Ouiatenon was
never rebuilt The Wea Indians emigrated
further west, and the government had no more
trouble IN this section until Tecumseh estab-
lished the Prophets Town on the Tippecanoe
river in loO0 This was destroyed and the power
OF the indians broken forever in 1911, by Gen.
Harrison.
This is briefly the history of Ouiatenon. and
will show any reasonable person that the Weas
or Oulatenons was the chief tribe of Indians
holding the lands in this section of the country,
and that MONTGOMERY county was a portion OF
the territory which they claimed and ruled over.

A Trades-Union Leader Believes the Great
Order To Be Dying.

A Trades-Union Leader Believes the Great
Order To Be Dying.
Providence Journal.
asked one of the most intelligent leaders in
this city-a man who used to be an enthusiastic
Knight-why he predicted the dissolution Of
that great body.
Because its defects are now seen to be fatal
said he. ut is despotism instead of democ-
racy, as was supposed. Each assembly is gov
erned by its handful of officers, and the mem
bers have no voice or vote on important mat
tiers. The individual knight is never anything
but puppet in the hands of the man he elects
to Office, and often that man is either knave or
q fool. In the trades unions all the members
are equal, and vote on every important
action. The majority rules, and every member
feels that whether success or failure attends
what is done, the members have no one to blame
or prnse but themselves. Another vital defect
of the Knights is that the order is designed to
mind everybodys business. The affairs of any
trade, the existence of which may be destroyed,
are intrusted to Knights in other lines of bust
| ness, who, however able or intelligent they may
be, are not fitted to NEEDLE with technicalites
they do not understand. Other flaws in the con-
stitution are. first, the inability of the order to
compel the payment of assessments, and second,
of the members to force their officers to account
TOT ne manner in which the funds are ex-
pended"
1 don't know how just all Of this criticism is,
and it is only fair to say that the man who made
I 1t takes sides with the tradesunions in their
hostility to the Knights. A history of the great
order and of it's imitators will hold the mirror
up to . very curious condition of society here.
Even within month we have seen attempt
to bind the little messenger boys into union,
in which they were to obey self-constituted
| leader first and their employers afterward. But
more ridiculous still has been the attempt of the
| wretched women who sing of-color songs in Very
| abbreviated costumes in the low East-sde con-
| cert halls to become Ladies" of Labor. One of
| their agreements was not to wear dresses toe
| short, and not to drink more than one glass OF
| beer at time with strange men.
number of attempts have been made to or
| ganize the $500 newspaper men of this city in
an assembly of Knights. A few are in the OF.
der, and are very unhappy members, who are
| threatened with dismissal, or even worse. when
ever they try to get news in it. The average
| reporter is regarded with great sympathy by the
| Knights. He works twice as many hours day
| as brick-layer for.ess than twice bricklayers
wages, and this makes the hearts of the knights
| bleed but the reporter is so happy in spite OF
his hardships, that the Knights can't tell how
| to take hold of him. Your labor reformer has
no use for a happy man.

Amv.aeriorrs Case.

MOUNT HOLLY, n. j., Feb. 10.-A re-
markable case of attempted suicide or mur-
der has come to light here. Mary G. An
derson, handsome young woman about IL
years of age, enjoying a good reputation,
left her home on Monday night. On Tues
day morning she was found in the outskirts
of town with bullet hole in her head. She
was removed to her home, where she now
lies in a dying condition. She has been
unconscious ever since. and could
make no statement as to the
shooting. A revolver was found
on the ground about 100 yards from her,
one chamber being empty. This revolver
proved to be the property of her cousin,
Barclay Peak. who maintained close
friendship with her. Peak was arrested on
Tuesday and stoutly denied his guilt, and
intimated that the girl committed suicide.
AT the preliminary examination to-day it
was proven that they were out walking to-
gether in the locality where the girl was
found. Peak was committed to await the
result of the girls injuries.
Late tonight Miss Anderson recovered
consciousness and told the story of the
affair. She asserts that Barclay Peak and
herself were taking a stroll through
the neighborhood, when he made
improper propositions to her. 0and
after she had strenuously resisted his adj
vances. he drew his revolver and shot her
through the head. The young lady is still
alive, but slight hopes are entertained OF
her recovery.

INSTANTLY KILLED.
Thomas +. McGowan. of Duluth,
loses His Lille in n Peculiar Man

Just as the curtain was rolling down on
the third act of Our Minstrel Boys at the
Theatre Comique last evening the body of a
man was seen to fall from the upper pros
cenium box on the left of the stage. He
struck squarely ON his head near the edge of
the stage, and rolled into the orchestra
falling upon the bass violin player. People
in the audience pushed forward,
picked him up and endeavored
to restore him to consciousness.
DR.. Fay was summoned and found that
death had been instantaneous, the neck be-
ing dislocated. The unfortunate man who
lost his life so suddenly at a time when
death might have been least expected was
Thomas +. MCGOWAN, a well-known citizen
of Duluth. He had come to the theater
about half an hour previous to the accident,
in company with FL. II. Hawkins. an attor-
ney, and Frank j. Horan, the tailor. The
party was shown to box one, where
Mr. MCGOWAN fell into light doze.
After witnessing the play his friends
| concluded it was time to go.
He was awakened and rose to his feet. say
| ing, .'all right boys" Suddenly lie took a
step or two backward, and before his hor-
rifed friends could catch him fell over the
box railing. Coroner Hill made examination
and decided that death was caused by the
separation of the upper bones of the spinal
column from the base of the skull. Noin-
| quest will be held. The deceased was
born in Buffalo, n. Y, and was about 4S
years of age. He came TO Minnesota
twelve years ago and has since resided at
Duluth, owning the Zenith saloon
and restaurant. Generous to a
fault and possessing jovial
nature. he has been highly popular at Du-
luth and has mauy friends throughout the
state. He came to st. Paul Tuesday to at
| tend the G. A. r. meeting, and at its con-
clusion came to Minneapolis yesterday aft
ernoon to visit friends, expecting to leave
for home last night. After supper he went
| to the theater to visit Capt. Brown, the
proprietor. with whom he was acquainted.
and met his death as described. His wife
at Duluth has been notified, and the re.
mains have, until her arrival, been taken
charge of by the local lodge of Elks, of
| which he was member.

LYONS UNDER WATER.
A Prosperous Michigan Town Sub
merg ed by a Flood.

LYONS, Mich, Feb. 10.-Lyons is in a
sea of ice. Grand river rose during the
night about four feet, and an ice gorge
formed just below the city. The whole
business part of the town is under water
and great damage has been sustained. The
loss VEL reach into the thousands. Several
families have been driven out of their dwell
ings and others took the upper stories. The
ice gorge is estimated twenty feet thick in
places. The water is several feet
deep in the second floor in the
woUlen mills and Cornell works.
1t is feared the Touring mill with
10. 900 bushels of wheat and 200 barrels of
flour will be flooded. Should the Lansing
ice reach here before the gorge breaks it
will probably leave the river bed and carry
MANY houses down the river. All mails
are shut Off from the north and west. Boats
manned with three or four oarsmen each
are making strenuous efforts to save prop
erty. Some buildings have been swept down
the stream and others must surely go. The
current is cutting the embankment of the
water power company and rushing in tor
rents through the pastures. Those who can
are anchoring their buildings to keep them
from being swept down the stream. 1t is
estimated that 1000 acres are covered with
the ice gorce. The village is swarming
with people from the country who come to
witness the flood. News from up the river
shows that the worst is not yet. Should
the Lansing ice. which is expected here to-
night, reach us before this gorge gives way.
there is no limiting the damage that must

THE WELLS CITY WRECKE
An Ice FlOe and a Collision Combine
90 SEND Her to the BOtfom.

NEW YORK. Feb. 10.-The Wells City,
steamer of the Bristol City line. came in
with cargo of sheet tin and emnty Petro-
unfavorable, anchored in the stream out
side her dock at the foot of West Twenty
sixth street, intending to come up to her
pier this morning. Between and o'clock
this morning an immense ice foe came
down with the outgoing tide and caught
her. The Wells City did not have steam
up and was helpless She was carried
down stream on the edge of the foe. drag
ging her anchor, for more than one and
one-half miles, resisting all attempts to stop
her. Opposite Christopher street the
steamer Lone Star, of the Morgan line,
lay anchored in the stream. Capt.
Morgan saw the foe coming and
the plight of the Wells CITY, The
vessel was bearing straight down upon the
Lone Star and every effort was made by the
latter to avoid collision. The wheel was
put hard port and she was swung partly
around, but too late. The Wells City
drifting broadside upon her bow was struck
by the cut-water of the Lone Star, just
abaft the engine house. A hole was
knocked in her big enough to drive two
horse truck through and she began to fill at
once, the water rushing in and filling her
hull. Her boats were launched and the
crew, consisting Of the captain and twenty
three men, took to the river The Lone
Star had all she could do to save
herself from being carried down by
the ice foe. She steamed up under her
pier and close to the shore and
saved herself, The Wells City sank twenty
minutes after the collision. The Lone Star
was only slightly damaged. The Wells
City lies nearly in midstream, pointing
down the river, with both mastS and about
five feet of her black smoke stack rising
out of the water. Her cargo will be taken
out, and then efforts will be made to raise
her. The Merritt Coast Wrecking COM
panY sent boats this morning to buoy her
up and raise her. The cargo will have,
however, to be taken out first. The Wells
City is only one and a half years old. and
the present was her tenth trip across the
ocean. She is of 1870 tons burden, net
register. She is valued at $3.50, 600, and
her cargo at $40, 600. Both are fully in
Sured on the other side. Charles Hill &
Son, of Bristol, are the owners of the
steamer.

Smith Tells His Story.

CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 1O.-Alfred Smith,
the man on trial for beating his wife and a
woman named Wilson to death with ham,
mer, opened his mouth to-day for the first
time and told his story. His wife was a
medium and leader in spiritualistic circles
hereabouts. Smith says that the two
women schemed together TO get
him out of the way. and that a
DR.. Sell, who has since disappeared, was
Mrs. Wilson's lover. On the night of the
murder he was awakened by some one who
was in the act of cutting his throat He
sprang from his bed and was struck in the
dark by person who he says was Sell.
He grappled with his assailant and, taking
a hammer from the doctors hands. struck
him. He then tumbled over on the bed on
which were the dead bodies of the two
women. Smith story created sensation,
but it is not believed.
